As an update to my post about the CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible, hereโs a short presentation of another version of the Christian Standard Bible that I referenced there: the CSB Thinline Bible.

The CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible
One of the Bible translations Iโve been using a lot over the past year is the relatively new Christian Standard Bible (CSB) version. In this post I wonโt go into the stylistic features or the translation philosophy behind the CSB, but will rather present one of several dozen available editions that Iโve been using.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
The Advent hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" draws on biblical symbols and imagery, focusing on Israelโs desperate yearning for the Messiah, as promised by the ancient prophets of God: the King who would save the chosen people from otherwise certain death and destruction.
English idioms: โTo see the writing on the wallโ
When you know that something bad is about to happen, you might say โI can see the writing on the wall.โ In this post I explain the cultural background of this English expression.
